Ever since my beloved St Ives Green Tea Scrub changed their formula, I've been on the hunt for a new scrub to fill the gaping void in my life. The lovely people at Palmer's were kind enough to send me a few goodies to test out and I was intrigued by the Exfoliting Facial Scrub. Could there be a new contender for my new favourite scrub? Read on to find out!

The first thing I noticed about this scrub was the amazing scent, it smells like dark chocolate and vanilla YUM! Unlike most facial scrubs, this doesn't have any exfoliating beads as such, the exfoliating grains in this are actually a mixture of crushed walnut shells and cocoa powder. While that combo may be a bit harsh for certain skin types, it's perfect for me! This scrub also has loads of lovely shea butters so not only does it exfoliate really well, it also leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated. And just when you thought this product couldn't get any better, it's also free of parabens or phthalates. I've been using this 2-3 times a week and my skin has really been loving it, especially going into the cooler months. There really isn't anything I don't like about this scrub!
